Low Alcohol Sussex Best
The 0.5% version of Sussex Best, brewed exactly like the original and stripped of its alcohol just before bottling. It was sold as 'John Hop' before taking its present name. Copper in colour and lighter on the palate than its parent, it stays malt-forward, with hop, malt and caramel on the nose, a bittersweet balance and the hoppy finish of four hop varieties.
